We also miss ourselves

The hard days in the past two years seem to have reached their peak this month. Those who dare not resign scolded the boss, those who dared to resign remained calm, and friends joked, but if it was really not good, they went to Ele.me to deliver food.

This often-heard phrase, when it comes to a characteristic of takeaway and express delivery-temporary, earning a share of money with one effort, will only be seen by many people even in this line of work as a downside A dream springboard is the transitional period of gritted teeth. But when we have no doubts that tomorrow will be better, but can't tell which tomorrow it is, the springboard becomes a dead end, and the transition has no idea where to go.

Regarding the topic of takeaway express delivery, as a consumer, the more we talk about it, the more old we are, and finally we come to the conclusion: I will give more five-star praise, but I can't order it for early delivery.

In addition to the plot needs in pornhub, I didn't expect any film and television work to revolve around this theme, until this "Sorry, we missed you" (original name: "Sorry, we missed you").

The story is very simple, there is nothing to spoil, just a family of four. In order to repay the debt and buy a house, my father decided to work six days a week, fourteen hours a day, and did not sign a labor contract. Being a carer requires a car to travel, followed by the collapse of the mother spending more time on the bus. The eldest son, who was truant, was punished continuously until he was suspended from school. The sensible and well-behaved daughter began to lose sleep. How to falter in a crisis.

Although the story takes place in the United Kingdom, the strict requirements of the courier station boss for delivery time, the inexplicable anger and complaints of customers, and the panting of the courier climbing the stairs all made me feel the guilt that is familiar to me as a community with a shared future for mankind.

I read a short article before, which was published by a domestic delivery guy on "Contemporary Workers". Many details are very interesting. The link is at the end, and I encourage everyone to read it. In this short article, he said that food delivery does not require society to use a filter of pity, just understand it, and don’t need to sympathize.

In this film, it is precisely to supplement the fluke part of the whole society in this issue - this job that both employers regard as a temporary job, whether the requirements and guarantees for the workers' physical and mental health can withstand one more stroke straw.

Maybe this is something that even the delivery boy didn't realize, and sympathy and even understanding are not the final outcome. The contradictions in the movie are not deliberately dramatic, but often people get into trouble, only to find that they have nowhere to go, and there are thorns everywhere. When Dad wanted to stop and take a breath, everything was like the truck at the end of the movie that could only go on. His wife and children stopped in front of the car, begging for life to return to the way it was. He was hurt, but he had no choice.

If it is the responsibility of adults to have no choice, is the world still worth growing up?

And this kind of helplessness of not daring not to work has spread from the takeaway express on the street to the floor-to-ceiling windows of office buildings in reality. Just like what Dad wanted to take a week off, the head of the courier station told him this sentence, which he could not refuse. When all we can give and get at work is economic benefits, your fever is not about human life, but only about performance. The sighs of express delivery are falling on us like snowflakes, how to treat them and how to treat ourselves.

Sorry we missed you.

It was a sentence on the delivery note that Dad used to leave a message to customers who did not receive the goods in person. He was tired of not missing each order, but he missed the meeting with his son's parents. He wrote his apology and love to his wife on the delivery note, and continued on to a life of absence.

Fortunately, there are directors like Ken Loach, his camera did not miss them, so that we did not miss ourselves.
